Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

 AH>  I've never been to Moscow... but this sounds to me like

 DM>  Ardith, YES. It is elecrobus.


            A bus which runs on electricity?  In Vancouver, a lot of the buses
have poles on the roof which receive electrical power from overhead wires.  We
call these trolley buses, but streetcars & some trains work the same way.  :-)



 AH>  What is communter train?


            A commuter is a person who lives a considerable distance away from
where they work and uses a car &/or public transit (such as a bus or train) to
travel between a suburb or small community & the city on a regular basis.

            English being the way it is, "commuter" began life as a noun which
nowadays may also be used... without inflection... as an adjective.  :-)
